River's Madness
Thursday, July 17, 2008

Just a little poem I wrote that actually fits River pretty well. Enjoy.

CATEGORY: FILK TIMES READ: 5631 RATING: 10 SERIES: FIREFLY

The wind is from the south

I am sane again.

Yet all the while

I fear the weathercock

Swinging to points north,

When the cold fills my mind,

Building shackles of ice

That bind my thoughts,

And I will not know

One thing from another,

Nor name them right.

I do not know I am mad,

Nor believe those who say I am:

Yet when the warm breeze melts the frost

And the wind is southerly,

I know a hawk from a handsaw.

Wow...that is amazing! I love the line "I do not know I am mad," very stirring!

Thanks so much for this!

So very much soooo River.

It not only shows her madness, but her
vulnerability as well.

Excellent - thanks for sharing.

Wow - beautiful verse. Really hits home and not just because it's so Riverine. Double kudos for the Hamlet reference though!

Very well written! I particularly love the two lines
"I do not know I am mad,
Nor believe those who say I am"
Sums up River pretty well.
